Xbox Game Pass January 2025 Lineup: A Snowy Start and Stellar Additions

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers are in for a treat this January 2025! Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, a thrilling skiing game featuring co-op and PvP modes, drops on January 21st as a day-one title. This exciting addition follows a relatively quiet first half of the month, where several titles shifted tiers rather than entirely new games being added.

While the initial January 2025 Game Pass additions were somewhat limited, the second half of the month promises a significant boost. Following Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, three more day-one titles are slated for release: Eternal Strands (January 28th), Sniper Elite: Resistance (January 30th), and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (January 31st).

Of particular note is Eternal Strands, an action-adventure game developed by Yellow Brick Games and helmed by BioWare veteran Mike Laidlaw. Its Zelda-inspired gameplay is sure to captivate players.

Here's a quick rundown of the January 2025 Xbox Game Pass additions:
